The generally agreed upon date is 1963 for the addition of "Record" on the hub barrel.
"1963 - In October the Record rear derailleur (chrome plated bronze) is introduced. This has a revised cage shape with the pivot behind and closer to the jockey pulley and center punched rivets. The word "Record" is added to the hub barrels. Thicker heads on seat post adjusting bolts."
People have found "no Record" hubs with locknuts dated after '63 that they said were NOS. Anyone have information to add?
